Cute Drama

Just completed this cute drama
Personally, rated it 8/10
I have to admit that I became more bias toward the character Jiang Ru (Finn Han) the cousin. OMG, I am so amazed how much this young actor has grown since I first saw him in *Princess Silver*, and several other dramas since then. He's facial expressions are perfection. He has had me laughing when it counted. Great young actor... still shocked how old I'm getting & how quickly time flies.

NOW: Unfortunately, the only reason I couldn't give this a score above an 8/10 is this is one of the rare occasions that I just couldn't see or feel the chemistry with the two main leads. I can see that the director was trying to get the connection, but I just didn't feel it. Maybe others could.
Now, I could feel more of a chemistry between the Nie Xi Guang & Zhuang Xu throughout the drama. The pull was more intense, which was excellent chemistry.
Throughout the time that the Main ML and FL got together as boss and subordinate and until the end, I just still couldn't connect the two in a romantic chemistry.

However, I do rate the Script writing 8/10 (Cute Drama)
The Chemistry Level for the Main Leads 5/10
(Only because it felt more like brother & sister relationship or Close friends)
Recommendation Level 7/10 (It's truly up to what type of flavors interest the viewer)
Re-watch value: Highly unlikely
Total Personal Rating 8/10

***NOTE*** The Soundtrack for this drama hit a 10 scale. Great matching
